It gets talked about from time to time and I'm one of the big haters.Amatuers wearing Rainbow stripes/yellow/polka dot jerseys.It makes me cringe when I see a overweight unfit fat bloke labour up a climb with a world champs jersey on. I don't even think they should go on sale but then chain reaction do this...

I don't think I'd spend that much $$$ on it, but yeah, I'd wear it... it's slick, and for those who know what everything means it's very significant, and gives respect to a feat that we may never see repeated.

I have and wear this BIANCHI Jersey to commemorate Ullrich waiting up for Lance Armstrong when he was taken out by a spectator.

for the record, I don't have any Postal Service, Discovery, RSNT, Mellow Johnny's or other Armstrong affiliated jerseys.

Just buy the shirt. I hate the way people think along these lines. No one will mistake you for a world champion and the world champion and his team would not care either.Just because I'm dressed this way does not make a... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL-1kHxsavI

If you like it wear it , don't let anyone tell you what you can and cannot wear. I just find it funny if I see a fat bloke wearing a yellow jersey and a great big belly flopping over his shorts, a bit like Jan Ullrich in his prime By the way, its a very nice jersey

Stephen Roche Anniversary Jersey in Black - Winning the Tour de France is hard enough. But winning that, another Grand Tour and the World Championships all in the same year is a level apart that only two men have ever achieved. This year is the 25th anniversary of the incredible year

Greg Lemond being out of action due to having been shot by his idiot brother-in-law (related to Dick Cheney?) may have played a non-trivial part in Roche's success that year.

Hey. Football fans the world over wear their teams kit. What's wrong with flying your colours?

Agreed. I've never understood why cyclists are so uptight about this.

i played competitive for 15 years and despite owning professional team kits, i think i only "practiced" in one , once or twice at most. I think there is just this expectation or something of the person. Like if someone showed up on the pitch with a ronaldinho barcelona shirt , he better be god's gift to playing.... and if he sucks, i judge him more

practicing in a pro kit or playing recreational soccer in a pro kit is like fredding on the soccer field. call me snobby but even before i started riding bikes, my mentality was that i reserved pro (football) team kits to hang in my room or wear when im out at the pub with mates to cheer.

i dont think it's a direct equivalent to the cycling world, but to train i played in non-descript shorts, non-gameday socks, usually a t-shirt or dri-fit (my team warmup specific, if applicable). And yea to further the argument it's not a direct relationship, noone on any of my teams in their right minds would "train" in their sunday/saturday game uniform. In cycling, you kinda do. Furthermore, i have certainly used t-shirts that have the a.c milan logo, or d.c united logo, but they were just freebee t-shirts or something. Im just ranting, so in short... do what you want, but people will judge. if you dont care, power to you.

A friend of mine is a world champ, fair enough he is the over 65 world road race champ. While out on a club run we al stopped at a cafe and another cyclist came over and complimented him on his jersey and asked where he bought it from as he'd quite like one too.He wasnt best pleased and I felt quite sorry for this guy thats been racing for nearly 50 years riding his Rainbow stripes with pride and yet you can go to the shop and buy a replica.It should be reserved, just my opinion.

Wear it? No.But if you're a fan of the rider to a great extent, purchase it, track him down to sign it with a permanent pen (perhaps a bleach pen since the majority is black) and then have it framed. It is a rather well designed jersey.

edit: just realized it is already signed, sort of. A real signature would add value, but that being said it can be framed as-is.
